Brrrrr! It's getting cold out there. Or maybe you just feel like you're getting the cold shoulder? Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either. If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour some eggnog and welcome aboard!
